Of Natural Disaster, Tragic Accident & Football Extravaganza
17th May 2006, Wednesday
Mid week and the volume requiring our service increased ten fold and I can barely take a breather..Not that JxMMy doesn't wanna lend a hand, he got his full with his usual computer administration which include patching the Windows XP with yet another latest version of the service pack from Microsoft.
Seriously didn't he done that just a week ago?
I really never see so zealously patching up their OS as if calamity would struck if he has not done so...
Talking about calamity, the natural disaster season came in early this year..normally it should be around late summer (late August) as of last year when we see Hurrican Katrina tormented the million of lives of Americans living in the soutgh-western states (er..I may have got my fact wrong anyway)
Mount Merapi at Yogjakarta in Indonesia finally erupted yesterday with speedy evacuation done by local authorities when sign of lava flowing from the mouth and ash cloud spewing days before.
Of course, there are some "thick-headed" villagers would rather been engulfed by the lava rather than leaving their only possession in life..their land...
Over at Hong Kong, people are bracing for Typhoon Chanchu, travelling towards the former British colony at uncanny speed...
Then there is the strong quake felt in some Pacific Island and also certain part of Indonesia as well...
The earth is definite revoking against constant destruction of mankind but then could be God's punishment for the premiere of "Da Vinci's Code"...
Which I would be joining the La Tendo Clique for a highly-anticipated viewing at the brand new Cathay Cineplex (or more like a revamped one) come Saturday...
The torrid accident I witnessed yesterday morning had been reporting in the papers today with confirmation of the SBS running over a 64 years old elderly and dragged the victim for a distance of 50 m, which explains that morbid blood trail...
The victim was pronouced dead on the scene and now it is under investigation about the cause of the accident...
Seriously the morning traffic at this North Bouna Vista junction is a hotbed for accidents to happen. The road works for the Circle line had constantly caused inconveniences to people rushing off for work and drivers at time were not informed beforehand of the cosmetic changes that occured to the place and could be due to complacency, made a wrong turn and hit any of the thousands of pedestrians commuting around that area...Before they actually barricaded the center of the road, people can be seen vociferously jaywalking like their lives were not put in the danger...
As the saying goes..."Better be late than never"...
From recent posts you can see I had been hyped up about the forthcoming World Cup and this evening (or should more like tomorrow's dusk), we will witness a classic Champions League final beamed live from Stade de France in Paris between 2 teams who had a penchant of exciting, free-flowing football, Barcelona and Arsenal...
It surely would be the best extravaganza to offer soccer-hungry population worldwide in less than month for the biggest footballing kitty up for grab...
A lot of focus was targetted on the duel between Ronaldihno & Henry for which footballing god would come on top and get the sacred prize in European footballing scene...
Seriously not for many years have we seen 2 teams playing such entertaining football and yet manage to make it to the final which many had labelled the "dream final"...
Luckily it isn't Real vs Chelsea because we wouldn't want a pompus Portugese manager whining about whether a plump, bucktooth Brazilian striker had been offside for his goal...would we?
I will be rooting for the Catalans as my friend always said the Champs League should only involves champions of respective leagues rather than competant dopplegangers... Seriously how fantastic the current Arsenal squad is playing, they only finished 2nd fiddle last season and 4th this season while Barca clinched consecutive titles, and only justified to win the top prize as well...
I would try to stay awake for the kick off at 2.35 am, which means either I had to turn in early or forsake sleep altogether which can be hazardous on a work day...
Well let's see I can try to catch some sleep at 11 and whether my Pikachu alarm clock can get me up at those unearthly hours and sporting a musky eyes (i.e. JxMMy's) tomorrow for work...which I predict can't be any much productive....
Last note is that with my lass not gone for a good 1 month plus, I am surely feeling the void in my life..
Feeling a lack of lusture daily, as if nothing to anticipate when I get home or for the weekend when I would usually spend quality time with her...
Definitely I am missing her presence in her life gravely at the moment..
well that's why I have only soccer to binge on for the next month or so...

Japanese word of the day: 災難~sai-nan~(Disaster) It would be if I stay awake all night to catch the match and yet with a full day at work to contemplate with...
